emancipation is a marxist research collective and media project. It is not a party organ, although some of its members are part of one group or another. We espouse no formal tendency, but we have some ideas in common. We hope to help make radical education accessible outside the academy, compiling and disseminating materials to further marxism as viable inquiry and action. Without a grasp of the break from yesterday to today, we will not be able to break from today to tomorrow; thus it is only through an historical understanding of M that the politics of S can be meaningful.
